Let’s shred and vapourize a few million more innocents... But first we’ll strangle them with sanctions, say our elected leaders.

(LONDON) - Is this what we voted for? Is this what Western diplomacy has come to in the 21stt century?

Senate Placates Lobbyists While Risking a Disastrous War

This is the moment for peace oriented voices to speak out and say no to an Israeli first strike with American overt or covert backing.

Jackson Browne Adds Balance

If only people who think like Jackson Browne were in charge...

It overwhelms me to know that as bad as things they are, they would be much worse if it weren't for key people of notoriety with Jackson Browne at the head of the list.
